Do you have a question?
Sclerotherapy is the gold standard for the treatment of spider veins. It involves using very tiny needles to inject a solution directly into the veins so that it can irritate their lining and cause them to fade and eventually disappear. In most cases, it takes 3 to 5 treatments over several months for patients to see optimal results.
During the first two weeks after the treatment, the veins often look a bit darker and bruising will occur. Four weeks after treatment, you may notice some skin discoloration. This is likely because as your veins are closing, blood is becoming trapped within them. You can expect the discoloration to resolve itself in about 3 to 6 months.
Benefits of Spider Vein Treatment
One of the most noteworthy benefits of spider vein treatment is that it’s minimally invasive and doesn’t require any anesthesia or downtime. After you receive it, you can return to work and your other daily activities.
